Ivorypress Art + Books organize the first major solo exhibition of Rovner in Spain, a collaboration between the PaceWildenstein Gallery in New York and Ivorypress. The Israeli artist defines her work as follows: "My work is not about a political situation, but a human situation." In order to formulate these questions regarding the human condition Rovner uses a great variety of artistic expressions: video production, photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture and architectural intervention. The exhibition and the published catalog include 23 works produced during the past five years, and the spectacular video installation Fields of Fire.

Uncensored and provocative shots of models and artists A decade after his sizzling debut A Private View, Sante D'Orazio returns with a second volume of photo-diary-scrapbook, covering 1997 to 2008. Uncensored and provocative, D'Orazio's shots are mounted in collage-style entries framed with candid, handwritten observations. All-night parties and day-long photo sessions provide the light and shade of D'Orazio's jetset lifestylecelebrities, models, musicians, actors and artists all feature, in various states of dress and undress. Included here are Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Diane Kruger, Tricia Helfer, Stephanie Seymour, Liz Hurley, Jay-Z, Mickey Rourke, Angelina Jolie, Christina Aguilera, Pam Anderson, Keith Richards, Axl Rose, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel and many more. Informal images contrast with posed shots, color with black and white, and outtakes are shown along published photos from the likes of Playboy and Interview. With a keen eye, this New York-based photographer creates a dynamic tableau of moods and styles. Access to this demi-monde is rare; capturing its essence in words and pictures, rarer still. Sante D'Orazio succeeds on both counts.

?Entre todos los edificios que han sobrevivido a la convulsa historia de Europa en el último siglo y que perviven como una huella de la historia inmediata, el aeropuerto de Berlín, Tempelhof, sobresale no solo por la belleza y singularidad de su diseño y construccion, sino por ser un simbolo de la ciudad, haber protagonizado momentos historicos en la vida de la ciudad, y porque su cierre definitivo ha sido ya decretado, cambiando en este principio del siglo XXI un uso que definio y marco toda la vida economica, social e historica de Berlin en el siglo XX. Cierra, si, un simbolo del poder del nazismo, un edificio magico en si mismo y que ha atravesado practicamente un siglo con su inmensa presencia?. ?Las imagenes que Zubero ha creado no solo refuerzan la presencia, sin duda ya eterna, de Tempelhof, sino que le dota de una vida paralela, una vida silenciosa y anclada en un tiempo indefinido. En un riguroso blanco y negro, Zubero fragmenta cada plano, cada curva, muestra con detalle los pasillos, la fachada, los servicios, sin que nunca veamos todo el cuerpo a la vez. Estas imagenes se recrean paseando por las curvas infinitas de un edificio que sigue siendo el mas grande de uso civil en Europa, y el segundo del mundo despues del Pentagono en Washington. Son fotografias de silencio, vacias de presencia humana pero cargada de vestigios, frias y que pertenecen a un tiempo que no es este, definitivamente, que no es el tiempo, el momento en el que han sido tomadas. Son fotografias autonomas, que parecen alejarse del sentido del lugar para centrarse en mostrarnos la fria belleza de la linea curva?.

Bert Stern has created some of the most memorable photographs of female celebrities ever taken. He is perhaps best known for his photographs of Marilyn Monroe. Photographed just six weeks before her death, these images exhibit a dreamy sensuality that lingers in the memory. Sternas other iconic images include the infamous sunglasses movie poster for Lolita. Shaped by his background as an accomplished commercial photographer, Sternas is a uniquely exuberant and colorful view of the world. His subjects range from cinema legends like Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn to pop sensation Madonna. Stern has directed a number of films and commercials, most notable of which is Jazz on a Summeras Day, a documentary of the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.

Who took 1970's porn esthetic and made it fashion chic? Terry Richardson. Who made the trailer park trendy and the tractor hat de rigueur? Richardson again. Who's equally at home in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Purple and Vice? Our boy Terry. Who uses his fashion money to fund an X-rated website? Yes, Richardson. And who can't resist getting his clothes off and jumping in front of his own lens? Well, that would be Terry Richardson as well. Porn stars, supermodels, transsexuals, hillbillies, friends, pets, and celebrities all do for his lens what they'll do for no other. And if anyone ever wonders why they did it, just blame it on Terryworld, where taboos are null and void, and fashion finds sex a perfect fit.

William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-77) is widely considered to be the father of modern photography, having developed the process by which photographic images could be reproduced. However, he has yet to be sufficiently appreciated as a photographer in his own right. Over the course of his photographic career, he has made more than 5,000 images that include fascinating pictures of his home, Lacock Abbey, portraits of family and friends, and still lifes of botanical specimens, cloth, and household objects. A key intellectual figure of the nineteenth century in science, mathematics, astronomy, politics, and archaeology, Talbot is arguably the most important figure in the invention of photography. His practice established many of the mediums most familiar genres. Talbot was devoted to the advancement of photography, publishing the first photographically illustrated book, The Pencil of Nature (1844-46), which revealed the potential of the medium to a wider audience. This new monograph features many of Talbots best-known landscapes made around Lacock Abbey and some of the first negatives ever made. It also includes lesser-known and previously unpublished work that reveals the extraordinarily diverse scope of his work. His photographs reflect and embody the social and cultural issues of the time, but they are also fascinating, often beautiful images that are still as engaging today as they were nearly 200 years ago.

A breathtaking collection of aerial photographs of the Earth's surface, this title celebrates the natural beauty of the Earth and emphasizes the shrinking natural environment of the planet.

Fifty years of slightly slutty behavior Back in 1974, the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created America's first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing, except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred, Vanessa took any role they d give her, because, amazingly, she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans, awed by her ferocious onscreen sexuality, made her a top box office draw and America's first Latina star. Retired since 1986, Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries. What her fans dont know is that her real life was, and is, as wild as anything she did on film. In this sumptuous over-sized volume, TASCHEN celebrates a remarkably candid, confident and exuberantly sexual woman. Presented through Vanessa's own archive, in her own words, is a life at once shocking, titillating, amusing, and inspiring. And because paper and ink cant do justice to a personality this big, an original 140 minute DVD documentary is included. If you arent already convinced, this book will end all doubt that there could ever be another woman like Vanessa del Rio. Vanessa del Rio is limited to a total of 1,500 numbered copies, each signed by Vanessa ? 1,300 copies in the Art Edition 200 copies in the Collector's Edition, with a signed watercolor lithograph of Vanessa by acclaimed artist Robert Crumb Bonus for one lucky reader: one of the 1,500 copies contains a Golden Ticket good for an all-expenses paid evening with Vanessa, to bedocumented by a world famous photographer!!

Javier Medina (Gijón, 1946-2008) ejerció, además de su pública y comprometida profesión de abogado, una labor artística multifacética (en muchos casos secreta): el cine y las investigaciones audiovisuales, la literatura o la pintura fueron algunos de los campos en que desarrollo sus inquietudes intelectuales y creativas. Sorprendido por la muerte cuando preparaba la exposicion cuyo catalogo conforma la presente obra completada con una seleccion de sus articulos de prensa, donde era colaborador habitual, asi como de sus producciones audiovisuales, habran de servir estas paginas, ademas de como muestra de su singular trabajo creador, como homenaje sincero, calido y emocionado.
